Bangladesh and NE India (states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura) between the Brahmaputra and Salween rivers, and to the S of the Brahmaputra and E of the Dibang rivers, extending into NW Myanmar, W of the Chindwin River. W. Bleisch has reported an isolated population of gibbons to the N, in the Medog Nature Reserve in SE Xizang Autonomous Region (= Tibet), across the border from Arunachal Pradesh, but their identity has not been established.

are comparable in size but quite dissimilar in color. Adult males and juveniles are jet black except for a pair of whitish brow streaks that turn up slightly at the ends; these are quite close together and connected by white hairs. Adult males also have a little white on the chin or under the eyes, and the preputial tuft is black or only faintly grizzled. In contrast, females become copperytan at maturity, with dark brown cheeks and a white face-ring that continues around and under the eyes as suborbital streaks.

Offspring are weaned at about two years old and are considered juvenile until about four years old and subadults between four and six years old. Interbirth intervals are about three years.

spend their days feeding (30-8%), foraging (25-8%), resting (27-5%), and traveling (7-4%), besides calling and engaging in territorial behavior and play. In India, play and grooming activities contribute less than 10% oftheir daily activities. They rest and play more in the longer days of summer.

call in the morning before leaving their sleeping sites on most but not all days and sometimes in the afternoon before retiring. They alternate their calls as a “double solo” rather than producing duets. Feeding dominates the morning hours and rest in the early afternoon. Activity ends usually several hours before sunset, possibly to avoid competing with other primates at their feeding trees. Preferred sleeping sites are emergenttrees, often those infested with epiphytes; mid-canopy trees are less preferred. A female and her infant sleep together, generally with the adult male; older offspring sleep separately.

live in family groups of 2-6 individuals (usually about three), consisting of an adult pair, juveniles, and infants. Females dominate males. In Bangladesh, their home ranges are 8-63 ha, while home ranges in India can be 200-400 ha, probably based on the size of the habitat fragments. They travel 300-1800 m/day. Scarcer food and more widely dispersed food sources are probably the reason for larger home ranges in India.

in India is in isolated, small, and unsustainable subpopulations, often ofjust one or two groups. Across India and Bangladesh, habitat quality is rapidly declining, even where the forest is left standing; they suffer the loss of their preferred food trees and adequate sleeping sites, and the remaining forest structure and the broken canopy do not allow for brachiation. The degradation and destruction of their forest habitats results from the collection of firewood, timber extraction, plantations for the pulp industry, invasion of exotic plant species, crop cultivation, erosion, and disturbance of undergrowth, road construction, and urbanization. Unplanned intensive tourism, hunting, army training, natural gas extraction, slash-and-burn agriculture (“jhum” cultivation), and intensive commercial agriculture, such as tea plantations, comprise major threats. Commercial and subsistence hunting for food by hill tribes is particularly severe in Nagaland in far north-eastern India. Even when not hunted, people compete for food and cut down preferred fruit trees for timber, degrading the remaining forest patches. Namdapha National Park in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh has the largest contiguous stretch of protected forest in India and is a stronghold for the Western
